Hello World!

So why does the world need another blogger? Well, I don't suppose it really does.  So why bother?

Well, I just want to write.  In fact, I love writing.  It's been all I've ever wanted to do since I was a young girl.  I was on the student newspaper in elementary school, high school, and college.  I thought I would write for a "real" newspaper one day, but sometimes life doesn't go as we plan for it to, and so I never did.  Sadly, I stopped writing altogether for a number of years, and it's only been within the past three years that I've found my way back.  Maybe this blog won't bring peace to world, but it brings peace in my soul.  Peace that I had lost for many years.  My kids, all mostly grown now, are cheering me on, as is my husband.  I spent many years cheering for them, now they smile for me as I make up for the lost time of those non-productive years.

So, as this first of many blogs, I welcome whoever may read this.  I hope over time to write words that make you laugh, and think, and feel.  Those are the things I've always wanted for anyone who read what I took the time to capture into words.
